The National Monuments Service's description

Located within a large pasture field, close to the townland boundary between Deanestown and Grace Dieu, cropmarks indicate the presence of subsurface remains of a circular enclosure. The double ditched enclosure (diam. c. 42m) visible on Google maps imagery (June 2018) is defined by two ditches 3m to 5m apart.
